The tiny yellow-breasted capuchin was born to 13 year-old mum, Dinya and nine-year-old dad, Willow at Dudley on Friday.
It arrived just days after the capuchins moved into their new home, the first part of the zoo's restoration programme to be completed.
Upper primates section leader, Pat Stevens, said: "This is Dinya's seventh baby and fourth here at DZG, so she's very experienced and even Willow is being an attentive dad and is looking out for them both.
"The enclosure, which has cost £25,000 to rebuild includes a climbing frame, ropes, foliage and high platforms for the species to explore."
